Weekend What to Do October 19–21

All WeekendPeacock in the Desert: The Royal Arts of Jodhpur, IndiaThis new SAM exhibit, the largest south Asian show the museum’s ever held, brings five centuries of royal artifacts from Jodhpur, India. Visual wealth abounds. Colors come saturated unto decadence, and there’s some wildly bedazzled weaponry—you will never see a dagger with more jewels. But most interesting is the show’s placement things like a mobile royal tent from 1659 beside paintings that provide context for how it’s used. So you get to see the artifact, physically, and how it was once imagined. Seattle Art Museum, $25

Fri, Oct 19Carmen LynchThe New York stand-up keeps it charmingly dark: “My four-year-old niece is so cute…. The other day she’s like, ‘Why doesn’t everything have glitter?’ And I was like, ‘Oh my god. She’s totally going to do drugs one day.’” Laughs Comedy Club, $15

Sat, Oct 20Gruff RhysWelsh musician Gruff Rhys, guitarist and vocalist for psych-pop band Super Furry Animals, is also a solo act. His latest album, Babelsberg, sounds like what might happen if you mashed up the Zombies with Warren Zevon—orchestral dreams sung by an ironist. Barboza, $13
